Résumé: In this paper, we present the impact of a Radio over fiber (RoF) link on the transmission of a signal dedicated to wireless link. Comparison is given between OFDM and FBMC based wireless signal by simulation with the electrical modelling approach of O/E and E/O devices and optical components. The considered link concerns the Intensity Modulation - Direct Detection (IM-DD) architecture where the wireless signal is transmitted at the intermediate frequency. The simulation system includes the noise sources and nonlinearity of each component making thus the easy study of the impact of each one separately. It is then possible to quantify the degradation of the transmitted signal in term of error vector magnitude (EVM) or bit error rate (BER). Thus, the system architecture can be optimized for various applications and furthermore depending on the number of users.
